Saint George Catholic College

I would like to welcome you to the 'Friends of St George'. We are a group of parent volunteers who raise funds for St George Catholic College. We do this by serving refreshments at school events and hosting our Quiz & Bingo Nights including raffles, this is a fantastic way of bringing parents, teachers and our local catholic community together. We offer a little extra financial support for the areas within the school often underfunded and encourage departments and students to assist with ideas which everyone at St George can benefit from. Over the past few years 'The Friends' have purchased Sewing Machines for the Tech Department, Bike Shed for the school grounds (requested by the students), Gazebo's & BBQs for Sports Department, Games & Equipment for our Trinity Department, and donations towards the Yr 11 Prom. We are always looking for more volunteers, so if you have some spare time to help, we would be delighted to hear from you. If you would like to know more, please contact Cheryl McGrath at cmcgrath@stgcc.co.uk. This is a great opportunity to connect with the school, meet the staff and be part of making a difference. A way to make new friends and see behind the scenes of all the little extras that are offered within St George. We are holding a welcome meeting for parents who would like to find out more about 'Friends of St George Catholic College' on Wednesday 23rd September 2026 at 3.15pm at St George Catholic College in R2. Please contact for more information or if you are interested in joining us.

Last night, our Year 10 girls' netball team competed in their first U16 Southampton Schools netball tournament of the year and what a start! The girls won every match and were crowned City Champions for the 7th time! Since joining us in Year 7, they have won every tournament they have entered. Seven tournaments, seven gold medals. Pretty unstoppable! A special mention goes to their captain, Fadzai Noni, who played every match at Goal Defence and didn't let anyone get past her. If you see any of the girls around school, please congratulate them on this fantastic achievement. They have worked incredibly hard and thoroughly deserve their latest gold medal. 7 tournaments. 7 gold medals. City Champions.

Goodbye, Fr Ross! This weekend it was time to say goodbye to a great friend of St George Fr Ross Bullock from St Patricks parish in Woolston. Fr Ross as well as helping out with Mass and Confessions during the year was a regular visitor to the school each Friday. Coming into to visit the staff and students Fr Ross provided support to the school in many different ways. In particular he was a great help to the Chaplaincy and RE dept over the years since he had arrived at Woolston in 2019. Providing spiritual direction and support to Mr Walford and the chaplaincy team Fr Ross was a great ally of St George. We are very grateful for all his time spent with us and he will be missed greatly by us all. We wish Fr Ross a restful sabbatical year and remember him in our prayers. Thank you Fr Ross.

What a great day celebrating the GCSE results at Saint George Catholic College!

We're sure you'll agree that our Year 11s looked amazing for their Prom last week.

As part of our Day of Faith, Year 9 students took part in a creative workshop led by Mrs Gilbank and Miss Gillings. Using a range of technology resources, students worked collaboratively to create a striking piece of string art spelling the word "ASPIRE". Each student took turns carefully hammering in the nails and connecting the yarn to form the finished design. The artwork carries a special meaning for our school community. The individual nails represent the students and staff of Saint George, while the interwoven yarn symbolises the shared values that unite us and enable us to create something truly beautiful together. The completed artwork was proudly displayed beside the altar during Mass. We are extremely proud of the creativity, teamwork and care shown by our students, and the final piece is a wonderful reflection of our community and values.

The Summer Edition We have now reached our 10th and final edition of the academic year. I want to take one last opportunity to thank all of the incredible young journalists who have created a variety of informative and entertaining articles for your reading pleasure. School is a very busy time, so to take on the additional responsibility of sourcing and writing stories in their own free time really is a credit to the level of dedication these students have. Enjoy the long breakmay it be both adventurous and restful. We look forward to reporting back to you in September. Best wishes, Mr J Scott
